Trollhunter Helmer to Adapt Enormous

Producer Adrian Askarieh and Andre Ovredal, the Norwegian director of cult mockumentary Trollhunter, are teaming up for a transmedia adaptation of Enormous, an apocalyptic monster comic from Image.

The story depicts the fall of humanity as an ecological event creates gargantuan beasts that wreak havoc across civilization. The first graphic novel, which was published earlier this year, centers on a woman who attempts to collect and save lost children.

Askarieh and Ovredal plan on bringing this tale to life by creating a high-end digital web series, television show and feature film, says The Hollywood Reporter. The duo is aiming for something in the vein of Cloverfield and The Walking Dead, focusing on character drama with the monsters setting the backdrop.

Meanwhile, the Enormous comic will soon be moving over to 215 Ink Publishing, which is expected to announce an 18-book series to begin releasing in 2013.
